Loitering Munition
The combat-proven Switchblade® 300 Block 20 delivers rapid, beyond-line-of-sight precision strikes against personnel, light vehicles, and armored threats. Its modular payload supports fragmentation or explosively formed penetrator warheads for tailored effects. Lightweight and backpackable, it offers 20+ minutes endurance, 30 km range, and high-res EO/IR sensors. Cursor-on-target GPS and touchscreen fire control system simplify targeting, planning, and engagement, providing warfighters scalable lethality and tactical overmatch.
Rapid Tube Launch & Setup
The original Switchblade is designed to be launched from a simple tube that can be set up in just a few minutes by a single operator. This rapid launch capability allows small units to react quickly to emerging targets without needing supporting launch infrastructure.
Lightweight & Portable
At roughly 5 lb, the system is small enough for dismounted infantry to carry alongside their equipment. Its portability reduces soldier load while giving them direct-fire capability without heavy weapons systems.
Lightweight & Portable Integrated EO/IR Sensor
Switchblade incorporates a high-resolution electro-optical/infrared sensor that provides real-time video to the operator during flight. This imaging capability lets users confirm target identity before engaging, increasing accuracy and reducing unintended effects.
Loiter & Engage
With approximately 10–15 minutes of loiter time, the munition can fly to a target area, search for threats, and hold before attack. This loiters capability gives teams time to refine target data or abort if the situation changes.
User-Friendly Control Interface
Operators use a simple tablet or dedicated controller to plan missions, fly the system, and execute engagements. The intuitive interface reduces training burden and speeds up mission execution under stress.
